The team dedicated this entire week to bug fixes and quality of life improvements. Buckle up.

Improvements

• Find & Replace Improvement - We recently shipped an improved Find & Replace, which better focuses the active instance of a located word. (It also just looks nicer!)

• Write Button Improvements - If you've used Write (Auto or Guided) in a blank document, you may have seen its tendency to "continue" from the end of a linked chapter summary. We improved the way Write works, and it will now use that context to start your chapter from the beginning.

• Right-sized Story Bible Boxes - When empty, the Braindump, Genre, Style, and Synopsis boxes had too much padding. We made them leaner and more elegant.

• Trait Button Improvements - The "Fill this in" button in empty trait fields now disappears once you've started typing. Meanwhile, the Rewrite and Visibility buttons in those fields now appear beneath the text (rather than in the upper right corner)—making those fields work just like Outline.

• Improved Trait Label Handling - Identical or blank trait names on a card ran the risk of tripping up the Rewrite trait functionality. We improved how that's handled behind the scenes to prevent any issues.

• Prevent Unwanted Scrolling - We agreed with feedback saying you shouldn't lose your position in your doc when collapsing the sidebars or changing your editor size, so your scroll position now persists.

• Smarter Quick Tools - We updated the models powering Quick Tools to 4o and 4o mini. Aside from making them smarter and faster, this also means they're less likely to break (even with obscenely long Outline chapter summaries).

Fixes

• Fixed Document Shuffle - We fixed an issue with switching between documents, where doing so in rapid enough succession could cause the selected document to continue to toggle even once you'd stopped clicking.

• Resolved Toolbar Overflow - We shipped a fix preventing the text formatting toolbar at the top of the editor from spilling off to the right at really narrow widths.

• Plugin Testing Fix - The Plugin testing panel was producing a "too much or too little text" error. We fixed that issue, and testing now works as expected.

• Character History Formatting - Story Bible's Characters section has its own History, which appeared narrow and blank when first creating a character card. We fixed that.

• Model Ranking Audit - We resolved a few inconsistencies in the Prose Mode selector's model performance rankings.

• Project Word Count Fix - Total project word counts, as displayed on the homepage's project card, were sometimes incorrect. We found the issue and fixed it so that you always have a proper word count.

• Return to Last Position - We fixed the auto-scroll functionality so that when returning to a document you were working in previously, you're now correctly returned to your last active position.

• Quick Tools Shortcut Fix - The keyboard shortcut for Quick Tools (Mac: ⌘ + K, PC: Control + K) wasn't working unless your cursor was in the document editor. We fixed that, so you can pop open a Quick Tools window from elsewhere in your project.

• Describe Icon Swap - The Describe icon in the Selection Menu was wrong. We fixed it so that it now matches the Toolbar Menu.

• Trait Field Backgrounds - When using dark themes, Characters and Worldbuilding traits used white (rather than theme-appropriate) colored backgrounds. We fixed them, and they look much better.

• Something Went Wrong Fix - Recently we received increased reports of the "Something went wrong" error when using Write with a retired prose mode (such as Fastest or Unfiltered). We identified the issue and shipped a fix.

• Broken Worldbuilding Chiclets - Having an empty Worldbuilding card in your Story Bible caused a broken chiclet to appear as "Looked at" context when using the Write button. We fixed that, so only context actually used is included.

• Scroll to Draft - We made it so you'll now be returned to the Draft box if you click the Typewriter icon while halfway down your document.

• Collapse Hover Consistency - When you mouse over the collapse button for the toolbar or sidebars in a project, you should see that button turn grey. This was not the case for the right (History) bar, but we fixed that.

• Custom Rewrite Text Centering - The text in the Custom Rewrite field was not vertically centered. We fixed that, and Ryan breathed a sigh of relief.

• Fill This In Fix - The "Fill this in" button in an empty trait field would occasionally generate exclusively into the History, leaving the trait field itself blank. We resolved the issue and it will now always populate the trait field.

• Fixed Creativity 11 Muse - If you cranked Muse all the way up to 11, it would sometimes say it was "thinking" while it was actually "writing" which... well, as authors, you can probably appreciate the difficulty there. We fixed that, and a handful of minor associated issues.

• Quick Tools Cut Off - We fixed an issue that would occasionally cause the Quick Tools window to appear cut off inside the editor.

• Restored Draft Border - The bottom border on the Draft tool was missing if you scrolled down in your document while it was open, but we put it back.

• Random Generation Fix - Choosing Random from the Generate menu in Characters or Worldbuilding would occasionally produce a blank card. We identified and fixed the issue, in a stunning refutation of determinism.

Thanks so much for bringing these issues to our attention!
